TEXT TO SPEECH

MOHAMMED REHAN SAADI | SAZZAD ISLAM RAFEW | FARDEEN ABDULLAH TASEEN


PROJECT BRIEF

• Converts written text into natural-sounding speech using AI.


• Helps visually impaired users, audiobook creators, and AI-powered assistants.
• Uses Deep Learning models like Tacotron2 & WaveGlow to generate high-
quality speech.
• Provides a realistic voice output with adjustable pitch and speed.
EXPECTED OUTCOME

• A system where users input text and receive clear, human-like speech
output.
• Supports multiple languages and voice customizations.
• Helps in accessibility, AI assistants, and content creation.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

• Existing TTS solutions are expensive, robotic-sounding, or language-limited.


• Visually impaired individuals struggle to access written content.
• Content creators need high-quality AI voices for audiobooks and podcasts.
• Solution: Our TTS system generates natural, expressive speech at low cost, making it
accessible and customizable.
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
The Text-to-Speech (TTS) system follows a structured process to convert text into natural-sounding speech
using deep learning techniques. Below are the key steps involved:
• Step 1:Text Input
 User provides text input via a UI.
 Text can be loaded from a file or typed directly.

• Step 2:Text Preprocessing


 Normalize text (convert numbers, abbreviations, and symbols into readable words).
 Remove unnecessary punctuation.
 Convert text into phonemes for accurate pronunciation.
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
• Step 3:Feature Extraction
 Tokenize text and convert it into a phonetic representation.
 Extract linguistic and prosodic features.

• Step 4:Speech Synthesis Model


 Use Tacotron2 or FastSpeech for sequence-to-sequence text-to-speech conversion.
 Generate Mel spectrograms as an intermediate representation.

• Step 5:Audio Waveform Generation


 Use WaveGlow or HiFi-GAN to convert Mel spectrograms into audio waveforms.
 Apply post-processing for noise reduction and clarity.
METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW
• Step 6:Output & Playback
 Play the generated speech audio.
 Allow customization of voice parameters (pitch, speed, tone).

• Tools & Technologies Used:


 gTTS, pyttsx3 (Basic TTS APIs)
 Tacotron2, FastSpeech (Deep Learning Models)
 WaveGlow, HiFi-GAN (Audio Waveform Generation)
 Flask/Streamlit (User Interface)
FEATURE LIST
The core features of out project mainly consist of the following:
• Text to Speech Conversion
 Convert text to speech using deep learning models.
 Ensures pronunciation, natural rhythm and intonation.
 Uses open-source text to speech models like Tacotron2, WaveGlow and FastSpeech.

• Multi Language Support


 Supports languages other than just English.
 Uses open-source datasets like CommonVoice and LJSpeech for different speech synthesis.
 Users can select preferred language for converting text to speech.

• Adjustable Voice Speech and Speech


 Has a range of voices like man, female and robot.
 Allows speech speed control such as slow, fast or normal.
 Generate high-quality audio files like MP3.
 Uses built-in audio player for hearing generated speech.
DATASET DETAILS
• Dataset Name: LJSpeech Dataset
• Source: Open-source dataset with 13,100 English audio clips
• Size: 24 hours of recorded speech
• Features:
 Text – The sentence to be converted into speech
 Audio File – Corresponding recorded human speech
 Speaker ID – Identifies the speaker (if multi-speaker)
 Duration – Length of the audio clip

Use Case: AI learns speech patterns and converts text into natural-sounding audio.
TECHNOLOGY STACK
• Programming Language: Python
• Frameworks & Libraries:
 Tacotron2, WaveGlow – Deep Learning models for speech synthesis
 pyttsx3, gTTS – Simple text-to-speech conversion
 Librosa – Audio processing
 TensorFlow / PyTorch – Model training and optimization
